Ohio State University proposes to investigate a novel radiometric method to measure the concentration of actinide isotopes in the salt of an electrorefiner or drawdown system. A novel sensor will be developed that uses electrochemical reduction to pre-concentrate the actinides onto the surface of a detector to facilitate accurate quantitative detection of alpha emission in the harsh molten salt environment.
